A Proud History, An Exciting Future ...
From its start in 1940 as a small manufacturer of screw machine products, Elkhart Products Corporation (EPC) has built a reputation for quality products and quality personnel. As the company expanded in the early 1950s and became a fabricator of various copper and aluminum tubular components, it also became known for its innovation and service.
Expansion continued with the purchase of machinery from Chase Brass and Copper Company in the late '50s and wrot copper tube fittings for the plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration industries were added to the product line. Growth continued with the construction of plants in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1962 and in Geneva, Indiana in 1969. The Canadian Distribution Center in Toronto, Ontario opened in 1990.
